Fulltilt poker problem

[peekozi]

Background: I play on pokerstars and 95% of my play is in SNG's. I'm not that good, I am a little below the even mark but getting better. All dollar amounts are paltry, but that's not the point.

I wanted to try a new site so I figured "why not fulltiltpoker.com, I see some pros have affiliated themselves with the site, thus it is most likely a reputable and safe site." I go against my normal play and deposit $100 to play cash games as opposed to the SNG. I play a little and I'm up about $82 but I don't like the software, and I hate playing against those corny icons, so I decide to cash out. They send me an email a day ot two later saying that they won't send a check for less than $300 so I need to set up a neteller, firepay or eteller account to have the money transferred. I don't have an account with any of those sites but that does not matter, fulltilt poker won't issue a check for less than $300. When I told the "customer service" rep that their policy should be made clear he told me that there is a popup, at some point after requesting the withdrawal, that says there is a $300 check minimum (I have not confirmed this, but if this was tru at the time, I doubt my request could have gone far enough that "customer support" needed to send an email telling me "to issue a check for under $300 is IMPOSSIBLE."
So, I deposit another $120 bucks, as recommended by fulltiltpoker, to get my balance above $300 and give them the 21 business days they say it will take to get a check cut.
It's been about 25 BUSINESS days so I sent them an email asking about the money. I was told that they can't issue a check without a driver's license and a copy of a utility bill being faxed to their office. Again, no where on the site does it say that these items are required to be paid by check. Obviously, this is not a US based corporation, so why would they need this info? It could just be a monkey in the office playing games with me, but a company's model of operation always comes from the top!

This is a paltry sum of money but, as they say, "it's the principle of the thing".

Does anyone have any advice or know anyone who can get a check sent out? Anyone else have this problem? I have the emails though they have always been cordial and matter of fact, like the way a priest is before molesting a young boy (so I hear!!)!

PS - I have a business opportunity to everyone interested:
I am going to start a basketball league, each team only needs to put up $10,000 to enter...the winning team get a $1,000,000 prize! No pros are allowed, except for my team. I am going to put only all stars on the team. Anyone wanna join and play??

I hope fulltilt fails quickly, I don't even care if I get my money as long as they go under!!!
